Part #1 of device of the claim: Its front curve edge is cut to conform with upper eyelid's structure and forms a 45 degrees concave-up fan plate; within its bottom surface, there are many series of downward hair dividers, stuck-out from the surface; the hair dividers, one stands next to another continuously, have arranged them into concave arcs in the series of hair dividers; there are five concave arcs of hair dividers; from which, the smallest concave-up arc is starting at the front edge of main plate, then gradually stepped-up to a fifth largest one; the first two arc lines are in concave-up forms, while the rest of them turn into concave-down; every concave arc has 22 hair dividers; which, on the first concave-up arc, have their body widths particularly cut-out as small as 0.03 inch; these widths of hair dividers are similar to the distances among the natural hair shafts of eyelash; these body widths are, however, getting bigger from the third concave arc to the fifth one, as the form of metal plate is expanding; all hair dividers have their uniformed heights of 0.04 inch, accounting from the bottom surfaces of main plate; with the exception of the hair dividers at the first concave arc, these dividers have their tops cut to their small angle pointy tips like a series of pyramids; by this design, these pyramid tips will be the rail guiders for the press-on rubber blade to force and separate the natural eyelash hair shafts into the hair dividers gaps; in which, these natural hair shafts will be individually gluing on the artificial eyelash hair shafts meticulously; the lines of gaps, which are among the hair dividers, from their first concave arc to their fifth one, have a uniformed narrow widths of 0.02 inch, which approximately equal to the combination of three natural hair body widths; the 22 hair dividers yield 21 gaps on each concave arc; thus, there are 21 straight lines of gaps; these length of gaps are starting from the first concave arc to the fifth one; each line of gap will load, within itself, a pile of artificial hair shafts; together with the hair support platform, these lines of gaps keep the loaded hair shafts inline and curve at 45 degrees; by which, the arrangement for the loaded hair shafts is conforming to the form of concave-up main metal plate, and expanding outward like the structure of natural eyelash at longer lengths; by the combination of designed gaps with the heights of hair dividers, this device will use up its one supply of artificial hair shafts within 15 time of services; this device has options of loading of four different hair shaft lengths for selections, which start from 0.3 to 0.6 inch with increment of 0.1 inch; each concave arc has cut an equal perimeter of empty space at its front edge; theses concave arcs of empty spaces are to keep the loaded hair dried and to let hot air flowing through for bending them; the middle two concave-down arcs of dividers have a common concave-down empty space, which designed for the hair advancing blade to travel within, back and forth; this largest empty space has also set-up for incorporating with the middle plastic strip of support platform; whereat, the loaded hair shafts are pushing to slide forward by the force of hair advancing rubber blade. Part #2 of device of the claim: The hair support platform can be lifted for artificial hair shafts loading; the platform has two metal linkages, which pivot over two pivotal pins; these pins base on the side frames of main metal plate; this platform constructs of a concave-up arc metal plate; which, on its surface top, has attached three plastic strips; the center strip is for the loaded hair shafts sliding on, the two side strips are clasping the loaded hair shafts for 45 degrees bended; the concave-up arc of the platform is to conform with the underneath of main metal plate; this platform is under pressured of 8 ounces force; through its pair of linkages, the platform is exerting pressure from a pair of torsion springs, which base on the same pivotal pins of the linkages. Part #3 of device of the claim: The hair directional retainer rubber blade stays within the tract of concave-up U channel bar; which conforms with the front edge of main plate; the designed features of this blade are: 1) its tip is cut to a sharp angle of 45 degrees; 2) its tip is setting-up an angle of 45 degrees to the surface of main plate that will control the direction of extrusion of hair shafts; thus, the loaded hair won't be pulled back by the retraction of hair advancing rubber blade; 3) its tip is in rubbery condition; from the above incorporated features, this hair retainer blade will only allow the artificial hair shafts to extrude through and forward in single layer; there-at, the artificial hair shafts are flatting out from one end of the concave arc to its other end; the hair retainer blade also controls the number hair shafts forwarding through, as according to the designed numbers of hair gaps; the retainer blade also keeps them hair in place after extruded, despite, the advancing rubber blade gets retrieved; the completed function cycle of hair retainer rubber blade is to let the loaded hair shafts get forwarded through, stopped them, get them glue transferred, glued them on the natural eyelash, then to get the next loaded hair shafts forwarded again. Part #4 of device of the claim: The glue transferring arm constructs of a pair of concave-up metal square body rods, which joined together by a concave-up arc U channel bar; this bar holds within its tract a 0.06 inch width rubber blade; which has its top flat, suitable to wear a thin layer of glue, which will be transferring over to the facing sides of the ends of loaded hair shafts; when this pair of arms get their angles shut to zero degree, its rubber blade transfers glue to the ends of loaded hair shafts; simultaneously, by their metal linkages, the hair advancing U channel bar gets pushing forward, its rubber blade gets to slide them hair shafts toward a maximal length of 0.13 inch; at their final destinations, the facing side of the ends of artificial hair shafts get glue transferred; the arms, which then release back to 60 degrees by their pair of torsion springs, simultaneously, pull back the U channel bar of hair advancing blade; through an inline center axe of rotation at the two pivotal pins, by the even distribution of force on the two arms, their rubber blade will flatly and evenly touch up a thin layer of glue to the ends of loaded hair shafts; thereafter, these 45 degrees curve loaded hair shafts will be gluing on the natural hair shafts of eyelash. Part #5 of device of the claim: The hair advancing rubber blade is held within the tract of its concave-down U channel bar; just like the directional hair retainer rubber blade, the top of hair advancing rubber blade is cut to an angle of 45 degrees, with its rubbery condition and directional setting of its tip to the surface of main metal plate, the hair advancing rubber blade will affectedly advance the desirable number of artificial hair shafts to their final destinations; with the same features of the hair retaining blade, the hair advancing rubber blade will allow the artificial hair shafts stopped in place after they get advanced, allow them move forward in layer and in designed limit numbers, as equal to the numbers of designed hair divider gaps, and allow no artificial hair to be pulled back; despite, the hair advancing rubber blade is going back and forth for completing its cycle of movements. Part #6 of device of claim: Due to the nature and simplicity of size of small torsion springs, it is impossible for them to be seen in a small drawing. Part #7 of device of the claim: The pressing-on actuator is constructed by a pair of fingers handle pressing-on; its design of functions like a pair scissors; it has a concave-up U channel bar, which keeps within its tract a 0.06 inch width rubber blade; this U channel bar with its rubber blade will go up, together with the pyramid hair dividers, force the natural eyelash hair shafts into hair dividers gaps, where-at, press the natural eyelash hair shafts onto the glued ends of the artificial hair shaft for completing the natural eyelash hair shafts permanently extending. These total incorporated parts of the main metal plate, as the whole, then attaches to the pressing-on actuator; the eyelash permanent extender now has already completed; after the end of artificial hair shafts have already been transferred of glue; the frontal edge of device then place on the top side of the natural eyelash hair shafts, against their eyelid, the consumer squeezes in the two finger handles of pressing-on actuator, from which, its rubber blade goes-up, press to join the natural eyelash hair with the transferred glue artificial hair shafts, keeps on pressing for a minute or two until the transferred glue gets effective, then removes the device; the add-on artificial hair will stay back and keep gluing on the natural eyelash hair shafts, which now become longer in lengths and bended at 45 degrees; the extended eyelash hair will last on the eyelids as long as the consumer wants, until take off with warm water; unlike the traditional glue-on an eyepiece on the eyelid skin, this device will individual glue the designed artificial hair shaft on every natural eyelash hair shaft virtually; the designed artificial hair shafts, as by the consumer's selections of the hair shafts lengths, can be reloaded when they completely ran out; that is our only claim and all about our designs of the Eyelash Permanent Extender.
